Whoops! I ended up buying an ink blue regular alexa from today and I've got 7 days to return it if I don't want it. I really like the size, colour, etc, but it is a lot to spend on a small bag. I saw the new ink blue on the darias and it's a really pretty blue - a lot brighter than the alexa, but apparently the ink blue daria satchel won't be in store until March even though they're available online. I've tried on daria satchels before and i really liked them too, plus they are cheaper Do you think the colour is as versatile as the ink alexa? Also does anyone find that the coaster gets easily scratched?

Which one do you prefer or think I should go for? I like how both are similar sizes and can be crossbody and shoulder carried.

P.S. the oak leopard regular Alexa is divine! but I've already got one leopard bag plus I think the ink is more versatile...

This was a tough one since both bags are so lovely. Just seen the daria hobo irl, and the colour is lovely. However, I voted Alexa since I love this style (I'm adding the oak leopard clutch to my wishlist now too after drooling over it during lunch break...). I just tried on the ink blue alexa, and it's sooo cute.. Wish I had a bag full of money... (haven't tried on blue daria satchel though).

I voted daria, the spongy leather is fab and the daria range are just gorgeous. I saw the ink alexa in HOF at the weekend and I have to say I wasn't impressed...it didn't have the wow factor, for me at least!

I absolutely love the Daria satchel, but I voted for Ink Alexa. My reason was the deeper shade, I am a sucker for the ink buffalo! I just think of it as a classic colour which would go effortlessly with my wardrobe over time. The Daria is beautiful too but for me always felt more of a now bag! My mum would happily wear Alexa in ink blue now but not Daria, and I would like to think I would keep her for many years to come!

I voted Alexa - I just bought this exact bag at the weekend at Westfield. I love it, it ges great with jeans & loks fab for the office too. It's so versatile and a great size - slightly bigger than the East West Bayswater and can be worn in the hand, on the shoulder or cross body. I just love it, but after only one use the magnetic buttons at the sides of the postmans lock are both scratched! Aside form that no bad points at all, I think its a classic enough style to last all year and the colour is good for all seasons.
